  Home Treatment Tips for Bursitis. 1. Take rest:-In most cases of acute bursitis, it goes away by itself after a week or two of rest. Acute bursitis goes away on its own within a week or two with proper rest. Rest is recognized as the first line of treatment for an injured or inflamed area. For pain and inflammation, conservative treatment involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Thus, it cannot be stressed enough that once bursitis sets in, any exertion on the affected area or activity that increases the damage should be avoided. It will help the affected area heal and reduce inflammation. Additionally, resting the damaged tissues will prevent further injury.
  2. Ice:-
  
  
  
  As bursitis causes inflammation, applying an ice compress is very beneficial for the affected area. The cold temperature helps bring down swelling and reduce pain by numbing the affected area. Cold compresses are most effective when applied within 24 to 48 hours of developing bursitis.
  1. Wrap the ice cubes in a thin towel.
  2. The ice pack should be applied to the affected joint for about 15 minutes.
  3. After removing the joint, elevate it above your heart and rest.
  4. Repeat this a few times a day until you feel relief.
  Note: - Do not apply ice directly to the skin, as it can cause frostbite.
  
  3. Compression:-
  Compression also aids in the treatment of bursitis. It reduces swelling by preventing the pooling of fluid that may seep into the affected area from nearby tissues. This promotes the healing process and prevents further injury. A review published in Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research in 2016 found that compression bandaging combined with NSAIDs can be effective in the treatment of no-septic olecranon bursitis. You can use an ACE wrap or elastic bandage for compression, which is readily available.
  1. Wrap the bandage around the affected area using uniform pressure. Do not wrap it too tightly as that would constrict or cut off the blood circulation in the affected area and cause further pain?
  2. The bandage should be worn during the day until the swelling has gone down.
  3. Before you go to sleep, remove the bandage.
  Note: Remove the bandage immediately if the area turns blue or begins to feel numb.
